FARK. The only other one of these I've seen was a Polish-registered one at a German maxi-scooter rally in 2011, and how badly did I want it:

Sadly I currently have neither the space nor the coin :(

£14,000 spent making a £3,500 scooter look £20,000 worse. The mind boggles.

I actually quite like that, apart from that front nearside door. What the hell is going on there? Even more mysterious is that the ad makes absolutely zero mention of it either.

The only thing more remarkable than the survival of a 90s BMW advertised with the strapline "BMW e34 518i rwd manual retro"  is the fact the 518 badge is still on the back of it,

1385650167_s-l1600(27).thumb.jpg.b9307e2d703b01b601211c9eab4cf141.jpg

Currently £350.

"mine for 9 years, never let me down" 

Well maybe apart from the 3 months it took him/her to get it mot'd after getting this failure sheet 

  • Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength inner sill to floor (5.3.6 (a) (i))
  • Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength inner sill to floor (5.3.6 (a) (i))
  • Offside Front Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))
  • Nearside Front Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):

  • Spare tyre defective ()
  • Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive jack mount (5.3.6 (a) (i))
  • Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive jack mount (5.3.6 (a) (i))
  • Exhaust has a minor leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))
  • Front Registration plate deteriorated but not likely to be misread (0.1 (b))
  • Rear Registration plate deteriorated but not likely to be misread (0.1 (b))      I'M OOT

Black cabs used to all be like that, the nearside front was an open luggage rack; it was only the FX4 that started the fad for having a new-fangled door instead.
